Title A name given to the resource Towards a cleaner energy system: estimating the odds of transitioning to an energy-efficient state Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah Description An account of the resource At the heart of the global transition to cleaner energy systems is also an inherent mandate of ensuring a transition to an energy-efficient economy. This study applies a two-regime Markov switching dynamic model to examine the possibility of transitioning to an energy-efficient state, using Ghana as the subject of analysis. Since changes in energy intensity do not necessarily suggest improvements in energy efficiency, the study controls for the effect of income, trade, and energy price. The results show that Ghana has a higher chance of transitioning to an energy-efficient state but a relatively lower possibility for such efficiency to persist. What's more, it would take 1.2 y for the said efficiency to persist. The study recommends a broad policy overhaul targeting institutional restructuring, energy financing, and regulatory efficiency as means to facilitate the prospects of transitioning and improving energy efficiency persistence.

Title A name given to the resource The persistence of organizational performance problems the public services in Ghana: The perspective of societal culture Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu, Frank Kwaku Loius Ohemeng, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Kenneth Parku Description An account of the resource Performance management (PM) has been one of the most profound initiatives of public services reforms in both developed and developing countries in the last three decades. Despite its acceptance as a tool to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability, many continue to question its efficacy to enhance organizational performance in public services. This is because organizational performance problems continue to persist in the sector. How then can this persistence of organizational performance problems be explained? For some scholars, the answer lies in examining the behaviour of employees and thus moving away from the instrumentality of PM. While this is laudable, what influences employees’ behaviours for them to engage in activities that make nonsense of the existence of PM has not been greatly articulated. In this paper, we attempt to contribute to this discussion by focusing on how societal … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available SAGE Publications Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FrXAX-kAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=FrXAX-kAAAAJ:1sJd4Hv_s6UC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/a0469c7b5bf7e41b40d6e7166b01c9d2.pdf 05a0e024daab9497a414907fda3d1d02 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Do Leaders' Characteristics and Regime Transitions in Africa Matter for Citizens' Health Status? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Luis Diaz-Serrano, Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource Africa's quest to achieving improved health status and meeting the Millennium Development Goals targets cannot be effectively achieved without examining the quality of leadership, transitions and regimes and how they impact on the decisions and the policy effectiveness that bring about improved health and living standards of the citizenry. In this paper, we study the importance of leader characteristics and regime transitions on government's expenditure in health, and hence on infant mortality, as a development indicator. A unique dataset comprising 44 sub-Saharan African countries spanning from 1970 to 2010 was used for the study. To effectively analyze the impact of leader characteristics and regime transitions on the citizens' health status we control for leader fixed-effects since different leaders, among other things impact on outcomes differently and changes in policy to a large extent depend on the leader characteristics. The overall results are suggestive of a democratic advantage in the process of achieving effective health policy outcomes for promoting health and the wellbeing of the citizens in contemporary sub-Saharan Africa, at least in the long run. Whilst there is evidence of more private and public investments in the health sector under democratic leadership, Government's health policy is virtually non-existent under dictatorships and public sector investment in the health sector is on the decadence.

Title A name given to the resource Is microfinance really helping the most vulnerable? An empirical test of the effectiveness of the Ghana’s Microfinance Policy Reform Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Luis Serrano-Diaz, Gyimah Sackey, Frank Description An account of the resource The study aims to test the effectiveness of the Ghana Microfinance Policy of 2006 set up to support women and youth through access to credit. Our results show that, after controlling for a large number of variables, female and young entrepreneurs are less likely to be rationed in the access to microcredit and that this is largely determined by the differential treatment that they receive from microfinance institutions. Our analysis using regression decomposition techniques indicates that positive discrimination in favour of women and youth exists. Surprisingly, our results show that government microfinance policy accounts for the most severe rationing behaviour towards the targeted groups by the law.

Title A name given to the resource Venture capital as innovative source of financing equity capital after the financial crisis in Spain Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fauna Atta Frimpong, Ellis Kofi Akwaa-Sekyi, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Ramon Saladrigues Solé Description An account of the resource The global financial crisis affected the supply of funds to finance equity capital, thus calling for innovative risk capital financing methods. The paper explores the sources of venture capital (VC henceforth) fundraising and determines the relationship between VC fundraising, stock market returns, and market capitalization in Spain. The study uses time-series data of VC fundraising and stock market variables from 1989 to 2020 in a vector error correction model analysis after performing cointegration. The paper reports short-run and long-run causal relations between VC fundraising, stock market returns, and market capitalization when VC fundraising and stock market returns are used as dependent variables. However, such relations do not exist when the model is dependent on market capitalization. Our results show that the VC market raises funds from diversified (geographical and institutional) sources.

Title A name given to the resource Enhancing organizational development: The role of green empowerment and participation and inclusive leadership after COVID-19 pandemic Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Evans Sokro, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Ophelia Delali Dogbe Zungbey Description An account of the resource Existing literature demonstrates that inclusive leadership significantly promotes employee work engagement. Nevertheless, research on addressing the connection between inclusive leadership and employee work engagement through the lens of green empowerment in contemporary emerging markets is scarce. The present study draws on the leader-member exchange theory to investigate how inclusive leadership influence employees' green empowerment and work engagement. Using a survey instrument, a quantitative methodology was applied to gather data from 500 public sector employees in Ghana. The hypothesised relationships were analysed using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique. It was revealed that inclusive leadership directly and positively impacts employee work engagement.

Title A name given to the resource Determinants of credit rationing to the private sector in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anthony K Ahiawodzi, Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource This study is designed to investigate the rationing behavior of Commercial banks in Ghana, by looking at the effect of chosen variables on the amount of loan realized even in the era of interest rate liberalization. A single equation model involving a categorical random dependent variable, being the amount of loan realized and security value, interest rate, the value of assets, the value of collateral security, net profits, experience in business, sex, age and purpose as the exogenous variables. The exogenous variables are jointly significant in explaining the dependent variable. The results suggest that even though interest rates may be liberalized as a way of ensuring credit allocation, the Commercial Banks would still ration out credit. It is therefore suggested, that there is the need for the government to play an active role in the financial sector and the banks to intensify their monitoring systems of … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Adonis & Abbey Publishers Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2010 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:_FxGoFyzp5QC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/9da4ffd6e231f6a1c5df39f57c1f20fc.pdf 557673bb847a705db2a75c1d3e66e207 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Conflict among teachers in junior high schools in a developing country Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theresa Obuobisa-Darko Description An account of the resource The study examined the causes and effects of conflict on teachers' performance in the Tema metropolis of Ghana. Research design used was descriptive survey, with the main data collection instrument being questionnaire. Data was collected from a sample of three hundred and five (305) respondents who were randomly and purposively selected. The data was analysed using SPSS. The results indicate that conflicts were caused by personal and structural factors. The dominant personal factor was differences in perception whilst the dominant structural factor was sharing of common and limited resources. Furthermore, findings indicate that negative effects of conflict were higher than positive effects. The dominant conflict management strategy adopted was integrating whilst compromising was the least adopted. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the Ghana Education Service (GES) should organise workshops, seminars and other educational programmes on conflict for teachers.

Title A name given to the resource Testing for the existence of politico-economic cycles in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, George Compah-Keyeke Description An account of the resource The abuse of incumbency during elections in order to retain power by ruling governments has become a contentious issue in political economics. This study was set to examine the effect elections and other macroeconomic variables on growth in Ghana. Data for the estimation was collected for the period, 1992-2010, during which Ghana has had an uninterrupted democratic elections. The results of the analysis show that political cycles do not exist in Ghana, which lends support to the views of (Ito and Park, 1999; Alesina et al, 1992, 1993; Brender and Drazen, 2005). Nonetheless, pre-election manipulations of some sort is a common phenomenon as its manifestation becomes glare as abuse of incumbency is noticed even though data do not suggest so. The implication is that abuse of incumbency may exist but not to the extent that creates political cycles.
